this is the place where president obama has done this. rather than i don't have to play the game of being 100,000% against president obama i got a long list of things i think he's done wrong. with a civility and respect i will point them out when asked but the things i think he's done a good job on i'm not going to say just no, no. >> rose: the president of the united states says that his foreign policy in part is modeled after the foreign policy of your father. president bush 41. >> i don't think he's been as good at it if it's modeled after it. i would argue in some ways by reality kind of seeping into his life as the commander in chief that a lot of it's modeleds after 43. a little tip of the hat might be a nice think. it will be helpful politically. >> rose: the president owes it to -- >> he doesn't owe. >> rose: should, just as a matter of courtesy ought to say i have built on and using drones and other things i have done for what president bush 43 did. >> i think it would help him politically. for example when he was gracious at the
